Disclaimer:I am not a professional writer so if you want to write a smart remark
about my grammer you can bite my spell check.
In the 80s it was WWF vs NWA
In the 90s it was WWF vs WCW
in the 2000s it was WWF vs itself...
in the year 2012 it is WWE vs TNA
I am on the fence about who I cheer for.I am a fan of all types of wrestling.Thumb wrestling,Video game wrestling,play by mail...it doesn't matter...ok here is my view about the state of today Wrestling as a whole
Wrestlers taking performance enhancing drugs was a common thing in the hey day when WWE was pushing monsters mainly due to their top babyface was 6'8,303 pounds and was a beast.
Than wrestling fans wanted to see something new and the baby faces started shrinking a little bit but the egos were still the same size.You had people screaming at eachother about performance and having the same crap shoved down our throats for ages and than wrestling got smart and wrestling fans turned into the wrestling writers and started writing real world type scenerios and the days of the missing link and Abdullah the butcher stabbing you with a fork were over..well some areas there is a rumor that Abdullah still lurks and he has his fork close by although he uses a spork now adays....
You got wrestlers trying to be movie stars and wrestlers who gave up trying to be movie stars.
You got Twitter and face book and wrestlers lashing out at their employers and top headliners out of utter jealously....and you got some wrestlers who are awesome people and aren't over in flated as you think they are in reality.They just act like it on tv to put on a show.A show that used to be worth watching but like any good lover I come back for a piece when its good and hot and stay around even in the bad times.
Alot of people think you have to be a wrestler to be a a good wrestler but now adays you can get by on your ability to sell yourself and talk on the microphone in the world of tv wrestling.
Guys on the indys and some in the big time who still wrestle but have miminal or lack of mic skills wouldn't last a week in WWE or TNA.Wrestling today is a new breed of dog.Its based around television and ratings....If real life was based on ratings I would of been put on the shelf along time ago.
I know wrestling history but do I know about wrestling psychology....probably not...do I know what i want to see...probably so but one guy isn't going to change the view of Vincent K.McMahon
I can tell a good tale and spin a good yarn and bullshit with the best of them but does that qualify me to be in a booking meeting that is an estounding no...I belong in front of the tv supporting my heroes and schilling out for their merchandise.Thats my role in this little world
This is Hixenbaugh here me roar
